My baby's first day at college, as a Fine Arts major!!! She has chosen to live at home and commute for now. Saves me from the mommy college blues.

After she rushed off this morning I was reading e-mails and my SIL sent one about my nephew who is a third grader this year. He can be quite comical at times and since he is my brother's youngest and lives nearby I tend to dote on him. I thought I would share this little exchange with you. My SIL's reply made me snort.

is not to be a zookeeper anymore. He actually wants to work in apancake house. He said that over in Kentucky there is a Waffle House bythe revolving restaurant. I have no idea how he knew this. Maybe he'salready doing research on interesting pancake houses. I wonder if heknows about IHOP. I still crack up laughing when I remember thisconversation. From ZooKeeper to Pancake maker.

MY RESPONSE:It is good to keep all his options open and research well before he

Halarious, my son was ambitious too, at age 6 he wanted to be one of those guys in the orange jumpsuits with the spears on the sides of the road that clean up Texas!We watched Bonanza when we were little and one Sunday my Sunday School teacher asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up... I replied proudly..."a squaw"... must have watched an episode on Pocahantas! So glad my dream was not realized. I am not cut out for teepee life.Thanks for the laugh and stirring old memories.Lee @ Inspired Comblogulations

How cute and funny! This made me remember when one of my 9 yr old twin boys told me that he wants to be an ice cream man that drives around when he grows up. The things that kids come up with. :D Blessings,Sandra

Kudo's to this young man. Here in the south we take Waffle House very seriously. The nicest people work at the Waffle Houses and you can't beat their breakfasts. Nothing like a little "smothered and covered" to start your day. Sea Witch
